Edgar Allan Poe dedicated his final great work, a “prose poem” called “Eureka,” to “those who feel rather than to those who think—to the dreamers and those who put faith in dreams as in the only realities.” Such readers, and theatergoers, will find much to appreciate in a new musical play that depicts the final days of Poe’s life as a feverish dream-like sequence of railway journeys, including the one that provides the work’s title, a “Red-Eye to Havre de Grace.”
